Maddog (348) - Kettering, Ohio, USA - JUL 28, 2008
Had on draft at the tiny brewery. A great little joint in a cool town. Bright golden with aroma of sweet fruit and floral hops. Nice balance with a light hop finish. Crisp and citrus. More of a pale ale, but a very delicious beer in a place with low expectations. After drinking Coors products at their tour, this one sure hits the spot.

On tap at the Golden City Brew Pub. On the beer list as their ’Evolution IPA’. Poured a medium and cloudy golden color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas and tastes of citrus, grass, with a light grapefruit finish. Light caramel as well.

Braudog (4607) - Hampton, Virginia, USA - APR 26, 2006
On tap at the Falling Rock Taphouse, Denver, 4/15/06: Hop oil aroma explodes to the nostrils with super strong power. Interestingly, this is still a bit watery such a big beer. It’s orange/rusty with a thin head.

one of the less interesting ipa´s around. not sure if it was because i had just had the honey beer but i thought this tasted of honey. quite thin and sweet, plenty of evidence of hops but it didn´t really all fit together nicely

Draught. Light amber. Aroma is lightly malty (cookie), moderately hoppy (herbs, citrus - grapefruit). Flavor is moderately sweet, moderately acidic. Finish is moderately acidic, lightly bitter. Light to medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation.
